King Family
The information we have on the King family, is very little. We know the ancestor, Wesley Henry King, was born in Watertown, Jefferson County, New York in 1804. On the 1850 census report for Washington County Arkansas, he is listed as age 47. He married first Sarah/Sally Reed, daughter of William Reed. Wesley and the Reeds moved to Arkansas at some point in time where Sally and Wesley were married in 1827. They had five children, and she died about 1834. He married next Evaline Holt, who was 14 years old at the time of her marriage. They had thirteen children. I am attempting to unlock the family mysteries, such as who was Wesley's father? We believed he came to America from Scotland in the late 1700's, but more recent evidence indicates they were in Canada as early as the 1600's.
The Kings and the Reeds continued to intermarry throughout the years, as you will see in this report.
An interesting trait of the King men, in the line of Wesley Henry King, is their flaming red hair. Nearly every man born into this King family, has red hair.

He was supposed to have been listed in the 1850 Census in Pulaski County, page 153. With one Joseph Walton, Solomon King furnished security in the 1837 Pulaski County settlement of Washington G. Walton's estate. Solomon was also said to have owned one male and one female slave.

4. WESLEY HENRY2 KING (KING1)5,6 was born March 1804 in Watertown, Jefferson, New York, and died November 23, 1870 in Cane Hill, Washington, Arkansas7,8. He married (1) SALLY REED9,10 December 25, 1827 in Batesville, Independence County, AR11, daughter of WILLIAM REED and MARGARET ROBERTSON. She was born August 19, 1811 in Louisville KY12,13, and died Abt. 1834. He married (2) EVALINE HOLT November 1836, daughter of JACK HOLT and ELIZABETH POGUE. She was born December 28, 1821 in Alabama14,15, and died April 22, 1908 in Cane Hill, Washington, Arkansas16,17.
Notes for WESLEY HENRY KING: "............undoubtedly of English origin and perhaps came from England as a lad. Older family members think there were two sisters also, but there is nothing definite enough to state with any degree of accuracy. He came to Arkasas, along with William Reed and his family when they came from Kentucky in 1825; stopped a bit at Batesville, Arkansas, and came on to Cane Hill as one of the seven original families to form the settlement of Boonesboro, later re-named Cane Hill. HIs first wife was Sally Reed, William Reed's oldest child, and by this union there were five chiildren. The marriage record says "Westley King and Sarah Reed." (Sally was a common nickname for Sarah)
Following her death he was wed to Evaline Elizabeth Holt, in November 1836. Eveline was not quite 15 when this marriage took place. She came to be a mother of four step children, the oldest not quite five years her junior! In spite of her age, she was a young lady of considerable aplomb........"
A History of the HOLT FAMILY in WASHINGTON COUNTY ARKANSAS by Ruth Holt Payne and Mrs. Burlene Hilton
Notes for EVALINE HOLT: She and Wesley King made their home at Fly Creek, Arkansas.
"..........Eveline was not quite 15 when this marriage took place. She came to be a mother of four step children, the oldest not quite five years her junior! In spite of her age, she was a young lady of considerable aplomb.
"She had already attended the Young Ladies' Female Seminary at Cane Hill, where the young ladies from Boston, who had established this institution instilled culture in the bosoms of the young women in the area. The accounts of Eveline's exploits are legion. Her stamina which was to stand her in good stead throughout her life, is reflected in such stories as the one of her swimming across the river in Alabama where she was born and lived until their removal to Tennessee and then to Arkansas. Another, of the slaughter of thirteen rattlesnakes with a brother seconding her efforts.
"Having thirteen children of her own, and having reared a total of nineteen, she was oblivious to almost anything that would alarm her. During her long life she was an incessant reader. Stories are told of her granddaughters combing and dressing her hair by the hour, literally, while she read, completely oblivious to them. As a result, they always adored her. Her sternest rebuke was to say "Tut tut!"
"She always loved beauty. Flowers were for her almost a necessity and even in the winter months, she would use dried things dusted with flour, to decorate her bedroom. For a fruitful life, there could be no better example. Her activities were in no wise confined to her family circle which was large enough to have occupied most women--------but she was constantly in demand as a midwife. There were almost no medical facilities and her husband, who acted as a doctor and a dentist, among other things, was also in demand. She was his assistant in much that he did. At her death, she had 70 grandchildren and many great grandchildren, also a few great great grandchildren. Hers is the only family to date, in the year 1960, to reach into the eighth generation from the original family of Jack and Elizabeth Holt----the children of Bobby Howard and Teda Jean Howard Braly. The Kings also have the largest number of descendants." from " A History of the HOLT FAMILY in WASHINGTON COUNTY ARKANSAS by Ruth Holt Payne and Mrs. Burlene Hilton"
Comment by Clara E. Kendrick: This was my Great-Grandmother. Down by the ever-running mountain spring on Fly Creek, she had a hole of water where she used to duck her children when they disobeyed her commands. Cold or hot, she went to this spring every morning for her refreshing wash, before she ate breakfast, and always brought back a fresh bucket of water to make her coffee. "Never use water that has stood over night", she said, "because it has lost its savor." Grandmother King is the only person I have ever heard tell about the Falling Stars. She said: "I saw it rain stars from above on November 13, 1833, from about 4 in the morning until daylight. Some folks were frightened, thinking the world was coming to an end." Grandmother King said her mother was sick and had called her out of her sleep. When she saw the stars coming down, she called other members of her family, to see the ground covered with stars. "You could not pick them up," she said; "They were just like air bubbles, bright in color, spots which lasted until daybreak." When a child, I thought she was just telling us fairytales. Later in life I found an account of the falling of the stars in a history book, date and time just like Grandmother had told us.

Notes for LAURA EMILY KING: Known to her family as Aunt Em. Unmarried
She was the youngest daughter of Evaline King. Her red hair was a key to her unusual personality. Although she never married whe was a party in a number of romances and until her dying day, she had a twinkle in her eye, that told you she was a person with a sense of humor. She was never bound by convention and was wont to do whatever appealed to her. This might take the form of a hat or dress or conduct that often jarred the family and the community. At a time when women of middle age were supposed to be sedate, she was not above appearing in a daring bathing suit and disporting herself among the young fry and they enjoyed the water sports. She was always ready with a word for any situation or condition that might arise.
When her hair began to grey, she colored it (unusual at that time). She was known as "one of the most colorful people ever known." by Conrow Miller (her nephew)
Comments by Clara E. Kendrick: Our Aunt Emma King never got married, for reasons unknown to our younger generation. She always said she had to look after Mammy, as she called Grandmother Evaline King. Folks used to say Pappy and Mammy when speaking of their parents.
